Rain gave way to sunshine after the weekend so we hope pitches will dry over the coming weeks: The Firsts lost to Harrow United away in the Quarter final of the MCFA Intermediate Cup. Ultimately a bad day at the office for the Firsts. The Dragons sadly couldn’t produce the quality needed to best a team…
Thank you everybody who donated to keep the Dragons going. We can only afford to run all our teams without charging because of the selfless generosity of those who can afford to help out – their reward will not only be in heaven as they will also be invited to the much sought after Supporters’ Reception in March. With seemingly unending rain there were few matches. The good news…
We carry on relentlessly – winning more than we lose. Our next challenge is to provide changing rooms, shelter, refreshments, and WCs. Our parents particularly all deserve gold medals for supporting their proteges in the recent wet, windy, dismal weather on these dark evenings. We are working behind the scenes to improve the situation so please hang on in there! We…
We continue to win more than we lose but every match and training session must be paid for in one fashion or another. Every player cost the club around £300/season. We do not charge a subscription so rely on voluntary donations. If you can afford to donate please do; if you cannot don’t worry, you…
Astute mathematicians will notice that we are scoring more goals than we concede –our next challenge is to share them around where most needed: The Firsts beat Harrow United 5-3 away. This was a disjointed performance from the Dragons which made for a slow start and long day. The Dragons conceded twice to dig themselves a hole that they then needed to climb out of. Their spirit, ability and, crucially, hard work did saw them…
The knurled veterans at the Senior end and the youthful Under10s at the other end topped and tailed a good week: The Firsts beat Eagles Land Cricklewood 4-3 at home. This was a hard fought and, in the end, well-deserved win for the Dragons against a top four team. The Dragons have games in hand to fuel their ambition. A towering header, a penalty and a wonder goal were all on display. The…
In the event Storm Goretti proved rather a damp squib in London but a freezing Saturday night led to frozen pitches making some unplayable: The Firsts lost 2-4 away to Sporting Duet. The Dragons became victims of the festive break where their momentum, rhythm and confidence was disrupted. The lack of playing time clearly lost them a game they should have won. The Blues drew 2-2…
Just as we gear ourselves up to re-enter the fray after the Christmas/NY break Storm Goretti has appeared to try and thwart our plans. We have endured much worse, but rain has been a constant companion over the last few days. Time will tell if the grass pitches of our oppositions are up to holding…
Happy New Year to Dragons Everywhere With fan clubs located from New Zealand to the US, there is always a Dragon somewhere celebrating the New Year. We made great strides in 2025 building at long last our own pitch with the help of hard work; patient, selfless funders & patrons; together with the supportive Council and Trust. The problem with climbing…
With the shortest day behind us we can look back on the first half of the season with quiet satisfaction. Much has gone wrong of course but, importantly, more has gone well. In particular our new pitch has proved a great success. The challenge now is to build facilities starting with WCs and then changing…
